Catalytic Converter Systems
Catalytic Converter Recycling and PGM Recovery Systems
Catalytic converters are used in vehicle exhaust systems to reduce harmful emissions and convert hazardous gases into less harmful compounds. This conversion process is made possible by valuable Platinum Group Metals, mainly Platinum, Palladium and Rhodium.
When vehicles complete their service life, these precious metals can be recovered from spent catalytic converters through professional recycling and refining processes. Catalytic converter recycling is an important process for precious metal recovery, environmental protection and sustainable resource management.
Proses Makina provides advanced solutions for catalytic converter processing, including physical separation systems, chemical recovery units and complete turn-key precious metal recovery plants. The system is designed to achieve high recovery efficiency, safe operation and user-friendly process control.
Catalytic Converter Processing System
Proses Makina offers 3 different decanning systems and high-efficiency chemical operation systems for the recovery of Platinum, Palladium and Rhodium from catalytic converters. The chemical operation is designed to work at low temperature, without pressure and with reduced reaction time, depending on the process requirements.
The complete catalytic converter recycling process consists of two main stages: Physical Separation and Chemical Operation. These stages help separate, prepare and recover precious metals from ceramic or metallic catalyst materials.
Physical Separation
The physical separation stage is the first step of the catalytic converter recycling process. In this stage, the catalytic converter body is opened, the catalyst material is separated and prepared for further processing.
- Decanning Unit
- Vacuum Transfer Unit
- Double Cone Mixer
These systems are designed to support efficient material handling, dust control and homogeneous mixing before chemical treatment.

Chemical Operation
The chemical operation stage is designed for the recovery and refining of precious metals from prepared catalytic converter material. Proses Makina develops chemical processing systems for efficient Platinum, Palladium and Rhodium recovery.
- Roasting Oven
- Leaching Unit
- Refining System
- Melting Furnaces
Each unit is engineered to improve process efficiency, reduce operational risks and support reliable precious metal recovery from spent automotive catalysts.
Waste Water Treatment System
In precious metal recovery processes, waste water treatment is an important part of safe and environmentally responsible operation. Proses Makina provides waste water treatment and neutralization solutions to support clean water discharge and compliance with environmental regulations.
